My digital converter remote is crazy

catherinet
14 years ago

Everything with my digital converter box/remote, TV, DVD, and VCR had been working fine (other than it being a pain in the arse).

Yesterday, the dig. converter remote wouldn't turn on the TV. I figured out that I had to reprogram it to talk to the TV. Well, shortly after that, it quit working again. I can turn on my TV with my VCR remote, and then change the channels with the converter remote, but I can't turn the TV off and on with it.

So I tried to reprogram it again to talk to the TV, and instead of turning on the TV, it turns on the VCR!!!

What the heck? Is it possessed?
